Tomorrow in Bologna, one hundredth day in blue and one hundredth match in Serie A: “The defense? It’s not that bad, but we’re still an offensive team, even if Kvara shouldn’t have an obsession with goals…”
23 September – castelvolturno (ce)
One hundred days have passed since Garcia’s arrival in Naples. “I’m happy with this group, these guys and the whole environment, my first assessment is positive, regardless of the results. It’s also my hundredth match and it must be won, that’s what counts.”
GAME TO SET UP
—
On a still unconvincing Napoli, Garcia observes: “We are an offensive team, we have always scored goals. We can do more, even in Braga. In the championship we conceded 5 goals but on 8 shots. We’re not that bad in the defensive phase, even if we actually conceded a bit too much in Braga. But we won and that makes the glass half full. We can improve on the game. If we had had a good second half against Lazio, we would be very well in the standings.”

Now we have to deal with Bologna: “I admired Thiago Motta a lot as a player and now he is doing well as a coach, his Bologna know how to move on the pitch. It won’t be easy to beat them.” However, the French coach does not feel pressure: “Every time I meet the fans support me, they are close and they know that the group is worth it.”

We start playing at an infernal pace, here are the coach’s concepts: “I have a strong squad, especially in attack I can change without losing quality. Matteo Politano made a great start to the championship. After Bologna we will have matches after just three days. The boys know this and they must all be ready. The team is fine, we can also start with the same ones but I’m thinking about it. And in any case I like to change the game formation even with the same players on the pitch. Of course it hurts a little to know that with this muscle problem Rrahmani played two matches for Kosovo and we don’t have him available now. Amir is one of our strengths. However, I wanted to keep Ostigard and I am very calm with him. Now we need him and he is very strong.”
match management
—
The Frenchman is self-critical about one thing: “We need to manage the races better. Maintaining our own principles, we must be good and make better use of the counterattack. The problem isn’t getting too low, but losing balls that then make you unbalanced. We have to be more precise in transition, more precise in passing.”

Then Rudi pampers his champions: “Anguissa did good things and some less so. Last season he did it in a crazy way. We wait for it. Players are not machines. But he doesn’t worry me.” And on the attackers: “I hope Kvara scores quickly. He must not become obsessed with it and take pleasure in the plays and in helping his teammates too. If he doesn’t set the goal he will arrive first. For Victor I hope he has the same opportunities as Braga and will always score at least one goal. He is among the best.”
